RABAT - An Islamist group seen as the main opposing force to Morocco's monarchy has suspended its involvement in a movement inspired by revolts in Tunisia and Egypt, citing the need for a new deal with secularist activists to bolster its ideology.Al-Adl wal Ihsane's move comes at a tense time for the February 20 Movement whose regular protests, aimed at stripping the Arab world's longest-serving dynasty of its sweeping powers, have thinned considerably in recent weeks.On Monday, it suspended its youth wing's involvement in the February 20 Movement, said Fathallah Arsalane, a member of al-Adl wal Ihsane's (Justice and Spirituality) Guidance Council."We have suffered marginalization at the hands of some parties in February 20 and this involved the ceiling of political demands, a ban on making public statements and the use of slogans that reflect our group's ideology," Arsalane told Reuters."We are stopping our action within the February 20 Movement but we can continue outside it ... We want a real partnership with everyone, including secularists and left-wing activists."
